we're making a blog for MercadoLibre.com (you could say it's Latin- America's version of e-bay) and we want to give it a look similar to that of our listings of products in the site. We’re finding this to be quite a challenge in CSS. Although none of the things we’re trying to achieve is too fancy, they seem to be somewhat off the beaten track for WordPress.
1-Firstly, we want to put a border around every entry... the hole entry, including title, image and paragraph. Something like this dosen’t quite work:
h1, p, img {border: 1px solid blue;}
since it frames each element individually. Is there an object-name for the entire entry? So as to write something like:
entry {border: 1px solid blue;}
2- Secondly, we want a thumb-nail to appear on every entry… we can achieve this with:
img {height:100px; width:100px;}
but the problem is this also shrinks pictures inside the entry… we want the picture inside the post to appear full size. Is there a particular template that includes a thumbnail on each post? or is there a way to fix image sizes only when viewing the post summaries?
3- Thirdly, we want the latest entry to appear minimized, looking just like the older ones.
4- Is there any widget to allow a rating system? So as to allow readers to rate the posts from 1 to 5? Or at least a way to display the amount of visits each post gets and rank them by the amounts of visits.
Thank you so much for your time,
I hope there’s someone out there up for the challenge
